Food consumption dynamics among the urban middle classes in South and Southeast Asia

The goal of this film series is to reveal the complexity of food consumption dynamics among the middle classes in two rapidly changing, urban centres: Metro Manila, the Philippines and Bangalore, India. Based on a two-year academic research project, the six films highlight the changing patterns, practices and policies related to food consumption in these two mega-cities.

These films are freely available for screenings, in the classroom, in festivals, at conferences or other special events – we only ask that you let us know where they have been shown. Please feel free to download the following interviews with members of the research team, which provide more detailed information on the project and each film:
